The Beer Mile Relay was back with HACC’s unique blend of running, drinking and er … sudden and unexpected disqualifications returning to the club track.
14 teams lined up for the 3 kilometre two-person relay challenge, with each runner downing up to three pints of beer, cider or water in between four laps of increasingly dubious athletic prowess.
Champion chucker upper Ollie Dodd this year opted for starter duties and wisely avoiding the risk of another “action” shot going viral!
The results were as follows …
1st THE ‘DEAR’ HUNTERS 11:38 (Paul B and Gareth G)
2nd SLIPPERY MOTHER CLUCKERS 11:57 (Alex T and Jess D)
3rd MAGNET & STEEL 14:11 (Ade D & Keith T)
4th SNOOKER LOOPY (Ian P and Matt A) 15:10
5th FEAR THE BEER (Sam M and Hayley E) 15:54
6th DUFFERS UNITED (Alex M and Bill N) 16:04
7th INCREDIBLY PACED ATHLETES (Sara E and Jamie S) 16:25
8th THE TURNERS (Josh T and Marc T) 19:48
9th SPEEDY & SOPHISTICATED (Harry L and Peter D) 27:22
And now onto the Halesowen Hall of Shame, where we present an alphabetical list of teams, complete with telling emojis, of those that fell in the field of alcoholic (or water for our junior athletes!) battle ….
